These are the pictures we have been reviewing.
Additionally, in case the hive is becoming honey bound, I did add the additional super tonight. Weekend should be interesting.

Supercedure Queen Cells
John the Bee Mentor and NJEB have weighed in on today's visit to the hive, the three of us agree that the cells that I saw are queen cells. John states that they are supercedure queens cells and not swarm cells. A supercedure queen cell is created when the queen is weak or injured. I will check the hive again this weekend and see if any of these cells have produced a new queen. Once again this beekeeper stuff is both interesting and baffling.
